The Bible's Relevancy

I'm amazed by the relevancy of the Gospel! No matter what 'season' a person may find themselves in, or how drastic the change is in our ever changing world, the Gospel still speaks in a relevant manner to us today. That alone should speak to us of its divine nature. What other book written now or years ago can make that claim? No other book despite the credentials of its author, or the popularity of its message can compare to the Bible's ability to remain relevant in a world taken over by irrelevant thinking. Yet, despite that truth, many in our world today brush off the notion that a book written thousands of years ago, can speak so clearly to their situation and circumstances. Therein lies the task of those who proclaim the Bible's truths. Taking a message that is already relevant, and presenting it in a manner that speaks to the heart of a persons situation. A person that i'm priviledgd to know, Pastor Neil, associate Pastor at our church said it best recently in an email to me, he wrote that being relevant is "touching people where they are and taking them where they need to be". That is not only the purpose of the Bible, but the underlying theme of every message spoken by those who proclaim it's truths. I hope that you, like me, will find the time to open your Bible, (get one if you don't have one) and allow the relevancy of its message, speak to you!
